do the mind-body challenge

and I’ve learned a lot.

Will go out to sit in the sun and read a book that I enjoy, that’s my treat for today. No studying at all!

I’ve done it a little differently. Not writing a letter but quoting a song that I wanted to send for a long time.

In the blog that I wrote for him

I hope he’ll see it someday.

But it’s my way of releasing all the emotions and forgiving. Forgiving myself is an important part.

Without even knowing today’s challenge, I decided to get out of the house and take a 2-hour long walk along the beach to clear my head.

Looks like relaxing is just what it’s about today. :)

Came up with two goals:

Curb Neediness – It’s not like I’m overly needy but I need to learn that I have always myself to fall back on.

Nurture existing relationships – Everything is going great in this department and I’d like to keep it that way.

Sitting quietly for 10mins – done. It’s getting easier but I’m still feeling restless.

Dedicate as much time as you can today to doing things that help clear your head – done. I listened to my favourite audiobook and that always helps to clear my head. :)

Tomorrow will be more challenging, I guess.

I think the challenge got off to a very good start. Decluttering always gives me a feeling of relief and today I finally decluttered my desk, getting rid of some things that I really don’t need and other things that just reminded me of not so positive days.

Tomorrow should be easy enough as well, but then again I struggled a bit with sitting quietly for 10mins on day 1.

My space will be the sunny corner in my room. My favourite part of my room, anyways. That was easy enough to find.

What I struggled with was the ‘sitting quietly for 10mins’-part. But I made it. Next challenge, here I come. :)

Today’s challenge is fair enough, I think.

And the coming tasks for this week do not look too bad either.

‘Your sanctuary must be free of distractions. That means no television, computer or phone.’ is the only thing I’m struggling with.
